Washington Quarters 1958-1964

This is Page 8 of the Washington Quarters value
trend study, reporting on 1958-64 quarters. In total, there are nine
pages in the study, covering the 90% silver quarters of 1932-64, plus
the Bicentennial Quarters of 1975-76.

The highest Washington Quarter mintage totals of the silver pre-1965
quarters are found in this group. In fact, the quantity of quarters
made 1960-64 is almost as much as the combined totals from 1932-59!

During the precious metals boom of 1979-80,
millions of the later date silver quarters perished in the melting pot.
Millions more remain in existence, but evidently, few survive to this
day in ultra-high Uncirculated grades. Look at how prices for MS-67
examples have zoomed upward over the last few years. Perhaps long ago
you set aside a few pristine 1962-D quarters and and forgot about them,
complacent with their common date status. If so, then now is the time
to have them looked at by PCGS or NGC.

High grade common date quarters notwithstanding, Washington Quarter
collectors are well advised to concentrate their resources on the
1932-D
and the 1932-S.
These are the key dates in the series, and about the only Washington
Quarters that are virtually guaranteed to be worth substantially more
with each passing generation. Compared with all other Washington
Quarters, their mintages are miniscule, 436,800, and 408,000
respectively. Small supply plus heavy demand from collectors equals key
date status and ever increasing prices.

One of the major objectives of this website, US Coin Values Advisor, is
to help coin buyers become well rounded numismatists. The better
informed you are, the more likely you'll become a successful collector,
however you define success to be. To that end, we have prepared several
chapters dedicated to every
U.S. coin type minted, and to the various
minting facilities where they were produced, going back as far as
1793. The history of the George Washington Quarter is fascinating in
its own right, so why don't you take a few minutes to dig deeper into
the background of this ubiquitous
icon of American culture?
